The sum of the tens digit and the hundreds digit of a number is three times the units digit. 1/5 of the sum of all three digits

Crazy boy [7]

Answer: The numbers are:

965

875

785

695

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a 3 digit number that can be written as:

a*100 + b*10 + c

Where a, b, and c are single-digit numbers.

a is the hundreds

b is the tens

c is the unit.

We know that:

"The sum of the tens digit and the hundreds digit of a number is three times the units digit."

a + b = 3*c

" 1/5 of the sum of all three digits is 1 less than the units digit."

(a + b + c)/5 = c - 1

Then we have the two conditions:

a + b = 3*c

(a + b + c)/5 = c - 1

From the first one, we can write:

(a + b)/3 = c

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

(a + b + a/3 + b/3)/5 = a/3 + b/3 - 1

(4/3)*(a + b)/5 = (a/3 + b/3) - 1

(4/15)*(a + b) = (a + b)/3 - 1

(4/15)*(a + b) - (a + b)/3 = - 1

-(1/15)*(a + b) = -1

a = 15 - b

Then we can give different values for b, and find the values of a and c, where a and c must be positive.

b = 9

a = 15 - 9 = 6

Then:

c = (9 + 6)/3 = 5

(notice that a + b = 15, then c will be always equal to 5, reggardless of the values of b and a).

This number will be:

695.

if b = 8, then:

a = 15 - 8 = 7

and c = 5, same as before.

the number is 785.

If b = 7, then:

a = 15 - 7 = 8

The number is 875

if b = 6, then:

a = 15 - 6 = 9

The number is:

965

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses an acceptance sampling plan. This plan randomly

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

0.7208 = 72.08% probability that this whole shipment will be accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each tablet, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it meets the required specifications, or it does not. The probability of a tablet meeting the required specifications is independent of any other tablet, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

4% rate of defects

This means that $p = 0.04$

26 tablets

This means that $n = 26$

What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?

Probability that at most one tablet does not meet the specifications, which is:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

Thus

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{26,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{26} = 0.3460$

$P(X = 1) = C_{26,1}.(0.04)^{1}.(0.96)^{25} = 0.3748$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.3460 + 0.3748 = 0.7208$

0.7208 = 72.08% probability that this whole shipment will be accepted.

What fraction is equal to 3 1/9 ?

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

28/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to convert the given question into improper fraction before solving

So let's solve the question

3 1/9

Can be written as 28/9 which is improper fraction

Since there's nothing that can be used to divide both the numerator and denominator

Then our final answer is 28/9

But in the case where the fraction can be divided we can actually solve further
